Why Can’t Iron Man Sleep? (VIDEO)

With less than three months from it’s theatrical release, Walt Disney Pictures has debuted brand new Iron Man 3 trailer to satiate comic fans’ appetites.

In the freshly-released teaser, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) seems to be facing tough times as a new villain named The Mandarin encroaches on his territory — like blowing up his seaside mansion with a missile.

“Things are different now,” he says to his assistant-turned-girlfriend, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). “I have to protect the one thing that I can’t live without — and that’s you.”

As the trailer depicts Pepper stepping into a metal contraption designed to transform soldiers into other Iron Man-like troops, comic enthusiasts are hoping this theory comes true when Iron Man 3 hits theaters May 3.

Do you think it’s time for Paltrow to step inside the Iron Man suit? Let us know below.
